TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisian President Kais Saied on Friday said the country would not tolerate any foreign interference as he faces rising pressure from Western governments to restore constitutional order after seizing power in July.

"The sovereignty of the Tunisian state and the choices of its people were not discussed with international partners ... and will not be the subject of negotiations with any party," the president said in statement.
